About This School

Paul Mitchell the School-Fresno is a private for-profit institution located in Fresno, California with approximately 223 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $22,624 per year. The graduation rate is 80%, and the typical graduate earns $29,671 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you're set on a cosmetology career and want to keep debt manageable — the median graduate leaves with just $9,500 in debt, which is relatively low for a vocational program. That said, the net price of about $20,048 per year is still a significant investment for a certificate program, so you'll want to research typical starting salaries for Fresno-area stylists before committing. This small, focused school suits students who want hands-on training in an intimate setting, but it's worth comparing job placement rates and graduate earnings against local community college cosmetology programs, which may cost considerably less.
